Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it.
-Mary Baker Eddy
Quotations

-Leo Tolstoy
"Anna Karenina"
Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.
-Guillaume Apollinaire
Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.

Happiness is the settling of the soul into its most appropriate spot.
-Aristotle
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
"The Zahir"
The difference between love and happiness is that those who talk about love tend to be in love, but those who talk about happiness tend to be not happy.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
-William J. Bennett
Happiness is not a goal... it's a by-product of a life well lived.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
